Dave Edmunds took a Terry Adams song, "Me and the Boys", for D.E. 7th, the 1982 album that marked his move to Arista in Britain and Columbia in America after five years on Swan Song. Rockpile had fallen apart the year before, so Edmunds needed a new band, and he found one that was already broken in. Bassist John David, who had played with him back in Love Sculpture, veteran pub-rock pianist Geraint Watkins and drummer Dave Charles had cut a record together as Geraint Watkins and the Dominators.
That's the crew on this track, with Edmunds singing lead, playing guitar and producing, and they'd stay with him in the studio and on the road for the rest of the '80s. D.E. 7th went on to become his highest-charting solo album in the US.
